yea i kno, but thats the way they did it for some reason... i watched the SNL version, and i dont see how they exactly DID it, but it was standard then drop d... unless i couldnt tell that they were doing drop d the whole time... either way, sry for that lil inconvinience

I know exactly what you guys are talking about. Don't worry, these tabs ARE correct, and it IS possible to go to drop D in the middle of a song. I heard that eddie van halen uses something called a D-Tuna, you like pull a knob or use a pedal or something and you instantly go to drop D. He must have used a D-Tuna or something like that. Long live the D!
